"Prince George has the ability to truly become the economic hub of the North. I believe the team you have elected has the drive, experience, and determination to move an agenda that will engage the residents and businesses in Prince George, and make our City the very best it can be  – a place to be proud to call home.

I became President of U.S.W, (then IWA), in 1983, a position that I still hold today. Prince George has been my home for over 30 years and my wife Kathy has lived in Prince George for most of her life. Together we have four sons, Shawn, Calvin, Chad, and Ryan, three of whom still live in Prince George and are raising their families here. We also have four grandsons and one granddaughter."

With a 15-year business background in technology entrepreneurship, Garth currently teaches technology and business courses at the College of New Caledonia.

"It is my honour and privilege to serve on Prince George City Council and I will continue to work hard for this city. I was born in Edmonton, raised in Vancouver, and it was the opportunity to create and establish UNBC's Bookstore that brought me to Prince George 1992. After 22 years in college and university bookstore systems, at Vancouver Community College, Langara College, and UNBC I changed careers, focusing on community volunteerism.

Later I joined Pacific Western Transportation in the Transit division head office (PWTransit Canada Ltd) helping the management team to secure work across Canada in the transit side of the business.

I have spent 14 years walking with people and their families as they confront grief and loss, connecting with them through the area funeral homes, and through past experience.

My husband, Charles and I have three adult sons - Christopher (Amelia), Michael (Dana) and David as well as two beautiful granddaughters."
